You know the place. If you had come by at any other time, the only thing standing in its place would have been a run-down, abandoned building or maybe even a vacant lot. But right now, there's a shop there that looks like it came out of Charles Dickens — or maybe H. P. Lovecraft. If you go inside, you'll find a quirky old shopkeeper who has any number of potentially magical — and potentially inconvenient — artifacts available for sale. Cheap. Today only. Just what you were looking for — although you may not have known you were looking for it when you came in. In fact, these items may look just like any other shop merchandise, but they frequently have some weird supernatural properties. Just don't expect it to be there tomorrow. Especially if you need a refund... Originally a literary device from the surge of weird fantasy writing in the 1920s and earlier—H.G. Wells used it in The Crystal Egg (1897) and The Magic Shop (1903)—The Little Shop That Wasn't There Yesterday still turns up occasionally. Nowadays, it's often a website. Frequently an element of the modern Creepypasta; when the store is virtual, it overlaps with murder.com. A specific version of Revealing Continuity Lapse. A Mobile Kiosk has a good reason for being this. Compare with: Circus of Fear: Another instance of a liminal space between the fantastic and the mundane, but the Circus is expected to be ambulatory. Crazy Workplace: With a shop that appears as it wants, this is inevitable. Grail in the Garbage: This is what one often finds in these kind of stores. Keep in mind that this is not necessarily a good thing for the customer. Inn Between the Worlds: Another impossible place that's almost always stumbled across rather than deliberately sought out, but at Inns the payoff for visitors is usually decent enough drink and/or food, good company and good stories rather than material trinkets. Disclaimer: where you wind up after visiting is not necessarily the proprietors' responsibility. Check the rules of the establishment carefully. It Was Here, I Swear!: The protagonist tries to prove to someone else that this little shop (or other plot-relevant location) exists, only for the entire building to vanish without a trace. Magical Library: An enchanted library or store where you can get books, often staffed by a Magic Librarian. Vanishing Village: A whole town that wasn't there yesterday and won't be there tomorrow. Contrast with Bazaar of the Bizarre: Another place to get your esoteric shopping done, but it's rarely even accessible to mundanes—who are the clientele the Shop seems to prefer. Traveling Landmass: Also hard to find—and even harder to find on purpose—but generally a traveling landmass is known to travel and/or be weird, whereas it's key to Little Shop stories that the protagonists have never heard of the shop and have no reason to expect it to be magical. |

In Knight Life, Gwen gets The Carpathian Book of Fey and Daemonfolk from one of these. She learns where to find it from Arthur Penn's secretary "Miss Basil" (a basilisk), who tells her of a little bookshop she's never seen before, even though she knows the area quite well. | |

This was the basis for the Sharon, Lois, and Bram's Elephant Show episode "Curio Shoppe". The titular shop sells magical antiques that let the trio live out their daydreams. When they go back to show Eric Nagler, the shop is gone. | |

The World Ends with You does this with one of its missions; namely, a competing ramen shop opens up and somehow closes in the span of one day. Somewhat subverted, as you can get the ramen shop to reopen depending on certain actions later in the game. | |

Ranma ½ In one of the stories, Kuno purchases a phoenix egg from such a shop. Akane went to a similar shop and got a recipe and ingredients for a magical snack food (but she messed up the recipe and it tasted awful along with doing the exact opposite of what it intended). In the anime, a number of mobile versions of these show up — to be precise, traveling salesmen who sell magical stuff. There's also an anime-exclusive antique store with a haunted bra (the owner of which asks them to guard it from the underwear thief), and Ryoga in the manga has a weird knack for stumbling across magical stores. |

In "Let's Play With Sounds!" from Hello Kitty & Friends: Let's Learn Together, Kitty and her friends discover a music shop in what should be an empty lot. They end up putting on a concert with the shopkeeper of a slightly jazzier version of the show's instrumental opening theme tune, "Star." Afterwards, they find themselves alone in front of an empty lot of grass and wonder if it was All Just a Dream, but then dismiss this possibility and say that they must have been visited by the spirit of music. | |

Parodied, of course, in several Treehouse of Horror episodes. In "Treehouse of Horror II", Homer buys a Monkey's Paw (subverts the expectation of the store mysteriously disappearing afterward), in "Treehouse of Horror III", Homer buys a cursed Krusty the Clown doll for Bart (it came with a free frogurt... which was also cursed), and also in "ToH III", Bart finds the occult section of Springfield Elementary's library ("Gee, I never noticed that before!"). | |

In Pixieverse, Athena visits a bar that was closed recently due to fire damage, surprised to see it open again so soon. She talks to a woman about her problems, including her husband's health and issues at work. The next day she finds her husband is now in good health, though now has other issues, and she is being promoted at work. She returns to the bar, looking for clues, only to find it closed down again. | |

"Spell My Name with an S": A numerologist (a type of fortune-teller) who suggests Zebatinsky change his name to Sebatinsky. After a couple of months, Sebatinsky returns to thank the numerologist, but the store is empty, and has been for many years. Then the point-of-view shifts, and we learn that Energy Beings betting on human beings are the reason for the shop and his name change. | |

The Outer Limits (1995): In "Alien Shop", Andy Pace runs into Sewell Lane in order to evade the cops, having attempted to steal from an undercover officer, and finds a strange curio shop. The shopkeeper, who is secretly an alien shapeshifter who was sent to Earth as a penance, offers him a wallet. When he later goes to the pub Dentry's, Andy finds that money that he doesn't have keeps appearing in the wallet. He quickly realizes that when he touches someone, all of the money that they have on them appears in his wallet as if by magic. As time passes, Andy becomes increasingly greedy. When his drinking buddies Red and Joe and the Dentry's bartender Phil win $43,000 on a football bet, he touches all of them to congratulate them and all of the money appears in his wallet. However, there is another unintended side effect as a delighted Red announces the melanomas on his hands caused by skin cancer have disappeared. Andy is horrified to find that they have appeared on his hands. He runs back to Sewell Lane to find the shopkeeper but he instead finds a brick wall in place of the shop. The skin cancer spreads all over his body within minutes and he drops the wallet as he has finally realized that it is more trouble than it is worth. As soon as he does so, Andy finds himself back at the moment that the shopkeeper first offered him the wallet. He tells the shopkeeper that he has finally learned his lesson. The episode ends with him and Gabby happily pushing their newborn baby along the street in a stroller. | |

Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction has a story of a very very shallow woman going into an independent salon, and is talking to the stylist about appearances. And the stylist speaks about a connection between appearances and personality. The woman ignores her, but then gets infuriated when the stylist makes one tiny mistake. She screams about how she's going to use her wealth and power to shut the place down. In which the stylist curses her to "Have a mirror to one's soul" which to put it simply, her appearance will reflect her personality. The woman laughs it off and leaves, but the next day she wakes up very ugly. So she goes back to the shop only for it to be all closed up and abandoned. | |

Goosebumps (1995): In the episode "The Blob that Ate Everyone", Mrs. Carter discovers Zackie and Alex rummaging through her ruined shop and gladly gives Zackie the magic typewriter so long as he writes a truly terrifying story on it. As Zackie and Alex leave, they don't look back, so they don't see that Mrs. Carter vanishes behind them. In the episode "Click", Seth orders the remote control after seeing an ad in the newspaper for a shady company called Armchair Electronics. They don't answer the phone and they have no physical address; Seth and Kevin visit one, but it's just an abandoned, dilapidated warehouse. However, they seem to know what Seth is doing at any point and repeatedly warn him not to abuse the remote. |

De Griezelbus: In one of the stories, a girl buys grass for her cat from a mysterious shop that turns into a Man-Eating Plant, nearly eating her and her pet. After her father kills the plant, they return to the shop only to find that it's a derelict. One of the locals tells them that the former owner was a Mad Scientist who died years ago after trying to feed people to his plants. | |

SCP Foundation; Foundation Site 19, according to one of the propositions for SCP-001. The people that SCP-385 was confiscated from are implied to have purchased it at one of these. SCP-1940 is a bizarre example, a shop that will appear in any enclosure, from an abandoned house to someone's sock drawer, and materialize a salesman who will try and sell everything inside the enclosure to passers-by. Any claims to the property inside the enclosure will be met with paperwork demonstrating that the enclosure and everything in it is property of Light Courier Enterprises. What's worse, any merchandise bought from the store will cause another instance to appear within six hours. SCP-4828 is a Spell Book discarded from a man who claimed he bought it from The Multistore from Nowhere and Everywhere that appeared on the edge of his town. SCP-1472 is an interdimensional strip club that appears in an empty building for a few hours every Saturday night. SCP-1141 is a restaurant that frequently appears in New England zoos, but its operators always get one of the laws of physics wrong. (Once it appeared with gravity that was twice Earth's, and another time, its temperature was 5000ËšC, causing fires in its section of the zoo.) |

Dylan Dog has Hameln's shop, that appears and disappears at Hameln's whim (though there are people who can track it down), usually in the same place. At least one story has the shop appear and disappear on page multiple times, one of which in a phone booth, as Hameln had hired Dylan to track down a powerful magical artifact that had been stolen from him and he was really desperate to have it back before the guy who he was supposed to sell the artifact to lost his patience. | |

The trope is perspective-flipped with the Western Cuisine Cat Restaurant of Restaurant to Another World: the restaurant is based in a modern Japanese shopping district, but manifests a number of Portal Doors in a fantasy world every Saturday. In defiance of the usual mystery surrounding the trope, the restaurant's chef makes quite sure to inform his otherworldly customers of the weekly schedule, ensuring that they'll be able to return for more without having to search in vain. | |

The pilot of Clerks: The Animated Series has both the Glossy Shopping Mall That Wasn't There Yesterday ("That's new.") and The Towering Skyscraper That Wasn't There Yesterday ("I find it hard to believe no one noticed that either."), mainly to illustrate how stupidly oblivious the townsfolk are, especially when you consider the fact that both buildings (and the tents covering them) are gigantic and hard to miss. The Skyscraper remains, but the Mall soon disappears... less because of magic, and more because Jay and Silent Bob blow it up. | |

The Light Fantastic: Twoflower reveals that the ill-tempered, sentient piece of luggage he's been travelling with came from one of these tavernes vagrantes, or "mysterious wandering shops" (he asked for "traveling luggage" and got exactly that). Several theories are Discussed as to their origin, such as it being a way to avoid property taxes, or (in a Shout-Out Harlan Ellison's "Shoppe Keeper") that they are alien merchants escaping the heat death of their universe through dimension traveling technology. Later on they stumble into such a shop, and the real reason is revealed: a sorcerer who had an unpleasant retail experience cursed the shop and its owner to wander in and out of existence, never able to stay in the same place for long. He’d done this quite a few times. | |

While Artax of Metamor City started as an homage to the “Spells R Us� wizard, his magic shop was stationary until a misunderstanding with an intelligence agency in ‘’Things Unseen’’. Then he starts hiding in plain sight by teleporting the shop to a different mall or strip every night (helps that it’s bigger on the inside.) | |

The Twilight Zone (1985): In "Wong's Lost and Found Emporium", based on the short story by William F. Wu, the eponymous shop is magical and the entrance changes location. Some people stumble on it while others have to commit years of diligent effort to track it down. David Wong finds it in the backroom of a porn shop in San Francisco after three years of searching, Mrs. Whitford finds it in Fort Lauderdale and an elderly man simply found himself there after a doctor's appointment. The emporium contains lost hopes, dreams, chances and attributes that people seek to regain. David Wong is searching for his compassion, Melinda for her sense of humor, Mrs. Whitford for lost time and the elderly man for the respect of his children. Each lost attribute appears in a glowing ball, which everyone except the intended recipient can see, and takes the form of a physical object or animal. The recipients must follow the instructions on the label to benefit from it. | |

A one-man version occurs in Wendigo. A mysterious Native American behind the counter of the drugstore tells Miles the legend of the wendigo and gives him a wooden carving of the monster. When Kim looks around for him, he has vanished. Kim asks the shopkeeper about it, she says that she is the only one who works there and that Kim and Miles are the only customers she's had all day. | |

The plot of 16bit Sensation: Another Layer begins when Konoha stumbles across a retro game store she doesn't recall seeing before and is amazed to see dozens of famous Bishoujo Games being sold for 100 yen each. Unusually for the trope, she doesn't actually buy anything and instead just discusses her passion for bishoujo games with the store's owner. When she comes back the next day, the store is empty save for a bag full of bishoujo games with her name on it. When Konoha opens one, she finds herself transported back in time to 1992. | |

In ROMEO in the Darkness, Rikka, Dai, and the twins find a shop like this on their first visit to Kanda. It's full of birdcages and picture frames. Once inside, Dai (in side Red) or Issei (in side Blue) picks up an old book that seems to be in German, and gets a paper cut on it, so he feels like he has to buy it. But the shopkeeper doesn't charge for it, he just says "May the blessings of Romeo be with you," and a strange light comes over the scene. The next day, Dai loses his sight (Red)/Issei loses his voice (Blue), and when the others go back to check the shop, it's not there anymore. Within days, the main cast are all swept into the memories of the mysterious vampire Romeo. | |

xkcd has made a running theme of Beret Guy doing most of his shopping at them: In strip #1772, Beret Guy claims he buys groceries from stores like this, and his startup considers the idea of disrupting the industry. Subverted in strip #2332. Beret Guy tried to return a supposedly cursed office chair, but the store was boarded up... because of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. And in strip #2376, Beret Guy makes a phone call: "Hi, is this the shop that sells cursed items but when you try to return them the shop is gone?" "Yes, how can I help you?" |

A variation in Crossworlds. When Laura first takes Joe to A.T., he sees a large workshop. Later, he goes back to the building alone, but when he knocks on the door, he sees that it's an ordinary apartment with a different guy living there. He's about to leave, then he remembers that, the last time, they passed a certain tree on the other side. He does that and finds the shop in place of the apartment. Presumably, A.T. set up his shop to only be accessible to someone who knows the exact route to get there (or by accident). | |

In Ghost Sweeper Mikami there is a mysterious shop. Yakuchindou is a shop, which specializes in cursed items, exorcism goods, and regular antiques. Yakuchin is the owner of Yakuchindou, a store that deals with many magical items. He is a pervert and very greedy, often overpricing his wares if he has the chance. Mikami frequents his shop for Ghost Sweeper equipments such as Absorbing Talismans and Reitai Bowgun bolts. Yakuchin keeps many dangerous products that can be considered a liability, and when he gets a new item he doesn't mind using customers as test subjects to see if the item is safe for sale, as he did with Yokoshima the first time they met. | |

Goosebumps: The Haunted Mask formed a Story Arc with several other stories. The eponymous mask was always purchased from the Little Shop (which had conveniently closed when the unhappy owner attempted to return). During The Scream of the Haunted Mask, the shop had previously vanished entirely, leaving behind an empty plot of land. Literally, in several endings in The Little Comic Shop of Horrors. In one of them you escape the mysterious comic shop and learn that the comic book store was closed years ago because the owner Milo died. |

Subverted in the 90s version of DC's Starman. Jack (Starman, on the run from the Bad Guys) ducks into an alley and discovers a fortune teller's shop that he's never seen before.

This is the type of store Yuuko the Dimension Witch runs in ×××HOLiC, although it deviates slightly from the norm in that it will be there tomorrow. The key to being able to see and enter it, however, is that you must have need of Yuuko's wish-granting powers. Presumably this is very convenient for dealing with encyclopedia salesmen. She does eventually say that the shop was built specifically for the sake of helping Syaoran and Sakura-hime of Tsubasa -RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE-, racking up magic credits from the wishes she grants until the day they needed to be used. There's also an oden stand run by Kitsune. Watanuke only finds it because of his ability to see spirits and it vanishes after he finishes his meal. |

Sardo's Magic Mansion from Are You Afraid of the Dark? was a recurring setting in several episodes. There was a magically appearing store in a Deal with the Devil episode, where the more magic stuff a girl bought from the owner, the uglier she became. The Agony Booth did a recap of this one. The toy factory in "The Thirteenth Floor". It's a bit of a subversion, since Sardo has no idea how to actually do magic or how the stuff in his shop works. He's just the middleman. His shop being mobile is probably something in the store beyond his control. |

In the Teen Titans (2003) episode "Mother Mae-Eye", Cyborg buys the pie that the title character comes from at a shop like this, owned by a creepy-looking old gypsy woman. (Who may be Mother Mae-Eye herself; the two look similar.) | |

Cardcaptor Sakura: Played with with the Twin Bells shop. The toy shop itself and its origin is not supernatural (although it did appear almost overnight), but the plushes it sells mysteriously disappear from the house of whoever bought them and reappear at Twin Bells. This raises suspicions on the owner committing theft, but the poor woman actually has no idea what is going on. Naturally, the culprit is a Clow card, and once it's dealt with the shop can operate normally, subverting the trope. It even makes a couple more appearances afterwards, showing that it's thriving. | |

In Sluggy Freelance, this is unproven but there's reason to guess it applies to the magic shop from which Torg bought the evil talking rabbit Bun-bun. Considering the shopkeeper was really a Trickster God in disguise who was specifically out to deposit Bun-bun somewhere in an amusing way, and who resides outside of time, the shop may well have been created ad hoc too. It was there for long enough afterwards to say "no refunds," though. | |

From Beyond the Grave, a 1973 episodic horror film from Amicus Productions. The shop keeper (Peter Cushing) sells cursed antiques to four different customers, all (but one) of whom end dead before they could return them.In the final scene, Cushing breaks the fourth wall and attempts to sell something to the audience; the camera escapes and the shop door closes. | |

Throughout the Persona series, there's a place called the Velvet Room. The long-nosed man who runs it, Igor, can fuse Personae together for you. Only the main character can even see its door, and it appears in the strangest places, such as under the stairs of a karaoke bar, next to a small town bookstore, or down a side street in a shopping district. But in Persona 1 and 2, everybody could enter it. Also, everybody could change Personas. In the Persona 2 duology, there is the Time Castle Shop, owned by the Time Count. They primarily sell antique clocks, but spreading the right rumors can cause allow him to sell weapons (in Innocent Sin) or Skill cards (in Eternal Punishment). |

Not so much a shop as potential employer in Malcolm in the Middle. After eavesdropping on a coworker's phone interview, Hal took off to a building he'd never been to before for a new job. He'd never remembered it being there before. He went through a lot of weird trials and tests as part of the interview (say, spy-type stuff), and when he decided against the job...the entire building was gone the next day. | |

Hell Girl: Each episode typically follows the format of a self-contained short story where a person has been suffering torment from an acquaintance to the point that he or she accesses the Hell Correspondence website (that is available only for one minute at midnight) and submits a request to get rid of the person. Ai Enma, the Hell Girl, appears, and presents a doll with a red string on its neck that can send the named antagonist to Hell. When the string is pulled, Ai and her companions then torment the antagonist, offering a last chance to repent (which is usually refused), and ferries them to Hell. The price of the contract is that the person making the request will also have to go to Hell after his or her life is over. | |

Happens in The Real Hustle and it often works like this. Customers find a brand new phone store has opened selling phones extremely cheaply; but the catch is that the store doesn't keep the phones so it'll take a day or two for the phone to turn up, you still need to pay upfront but it's extremely cheap...even cheaper if you pay via card. Of course by the time they come back to the shop it's gone and if they were unfortunate to use their card it's been cloned. One of the cons actually relied on the mark knowing this. Some guy on the phone talks about this valuable plate he found at this booth in the flea market, except he didn't have enough money to buy it. So he describes the plate and asks the friend he's talking to bring some money and buy the plate. The mark overhears the conversation, and goes to buy the plates themselves. The plates, of course, are worthless, but the con wouldn't work if the mark didn't know the booth would likely be gone by the next day. |

Barter from DC Comics (from Hawk and Dove Vol 3 #1(June, 1989), first appearance) is the owner of a Dimensionally mobile Pawn Shop. The modest sign above his shop says: BARTER TRADING/Exotic Goods and Services. Inside the dimly lit pawn shop lay a potpourri of antiquities and merchandise, eccentric and cosmic in scope: A Green Lantern power battery. Demonic scrolls. Weapons from Apokolips. Ruby slippers. Vials filled with churning smoke labeled "youth" and "courage" and "love". A Legion flight ring. A lava lamp. The inventory constantly changes. None of this is for sale. Barter gives these things away— but he takes something in exchange. Another object. Information. Ten years of life. A first-born son. Never money. Barter doesn`t buy or sell— he trades. | |

In Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch Pure, there were two instances of this, both set up by the villains. One was a videoke house (that somehow had the heroines' songs in their list), and a fortuneteller's tent. Both in the same place, but not at the same time, of course. One character even noted it. | |

The Non-Bronyverse has less of a shop there, and more of a single unicorn proprietor who sells TD the staff Reginald for a song. | |

Despite its standing as a science fiction anime, in Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex one episode involved one of these. However, said shop was a memory shop. Its main purpose in the story was to give some of the Major's backstory and foreshadow later events. | |

Contrary to popular belief, this didn't show up that often in the Sailor Moon anime. While Jadeite had a habit of creating businesses from thin air and staffing them with a thematically appropriate youma, most of the other villains on the show simply took over existing businesses until they were uncovered by the Sailor Senshi. In one case, though, Palla Palla created a dentist's office in SuperS, which did turn out to be another business like Jadeite's. Even Jadeite occasionally just infiltrated pre-existing businesses. | |

Soul Music: The strange guitar that makes Buddy into an overnight sensation was bought from a mysterious little music shop. When his two friends return the next day, they find that it isn't there... then it's Subverted when one of them notices that it's still there, they were looking on the wrong side of the road. After they comment on this to the shopkeeper, it's a Double Subversion as she realises her forgetfulness and pulls a lever to make it move to other side. | |

The Black Emporium from Dragon Age II, run by the immortal Xenon the Antiquarian. Only those personally invited are able to find the shop, however Xenon warns if they decide to get rid of the charm he gave them, they will be rendered unable to do so, even if they already know where it is. (Fortunately in terms of game mechanics the "charm" is not an actual item and cannot be lost or disposed of, so it's impossible to lose access to the Black Emporium this way.) It should be noted that the Templars do occasionally manage to make their way to the shop with the intent of burning it down and destroying the many odd and dangerous items inside (it's never clarified if they're led there by a current customer or stumble across it on their own). What actually winds up happening is Templars being squashed flat by golems. |

Discussed in GURPS Magic Items 3 as an excellent trope to get magic items from, although it also notes the dangers of your players not taking it seriously. The book more or less defines it as an Undead Horse Trope; one which keeps going even though subversions and parodies are numerous enough to form their own subgenre. | |

Diaries of a Madman: Navarone and Taya are guided to one of these in their travels. Unlike many cases, the store owner explicitly points out the nature of the shop and that the pair will never see it again — and provides them with a book which sucks the erstwhile readers into Apocrypha, along with one or two other useful items. It's implied that the nature of the shop is intended specifically to keep Discord from finding it, but this may not be true. | |

Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire has Mirage Island; the chance that it appears is the same as winning a Master Ball in the daily lotto, except that boxed Pokémon don't count. If you actually manage to get there, you'll find a bush with a single Liechi Berry (the best Berry for Pokeblocks) and a LOT of wild Wynaut. The remakes have Mirage Spots. One is guaranteed to appear once a day after Steven gives you the Eon Flute (the only way of getting to one) but one also disappears once per day; more appear if you interact with other players. The Mirage Spots have rare Pokémon (legendary or otherwise), TMs, and Evolution Items. However, there's no way to predict which will appear on which day. |

Topsy Turvey's repair shop is down an alleyway that streetwise lamplighter, Jack claims never to have noticed before in Mary Poppins Returns. Mary implies he's never seen it because he's never needed anything fixed and that the shop changes size depending and what you need repaired. | |

In the Creepypasta "Welcome Home", there is the cozy little bakery "Welcome Home". Similar to "Needful Things", the building and lot are there already, Maria just moves in and spruces it up a bit. And when she gets what she came for some of the local children whom she renders into fresh ingredients and paint she vanishes, leaving the now-empty building the ruin it was when she first arrived. | |

Sunset's Isekai: The Isekai (an interdimensional bar) appears to those who really need a good drink (literally or not) and a good ear to listen to their problems. Those who possess one of the Isekai’s business cards, or a key for a certain few individuals, can pay the bar a visit at their leisure. Reference has also been made to the Isekai occasionally opening in a universe as if it were a normal bar for a time. The Isekai’s door is known to both replace preexisting doors and to appear where no door was previously, including seemingly impossible locations. One time, for instance, it appeared on the outside of a building’s seventh story. |

Googling "Spells R Us" yields a huge number of stories that fit this trope, and usually have male characters getting objects that turn them into girls. These are based on a series that was started in the 90s by "Bill Hart". | |

Ben Drowned has its protagonist getting a haunted Majora's Mask cartridge from a garage sale. When he comes back to talk to the old man he bought it from after the game begins acting... strange, he finds that his house is for sale. Really, this trope seems to be common in creepypasta about video games. | |

Hikari Photo Studio in Kamen Rider Decade is an odd example, since it's also the main characters' home and the hub of their inter-dimensional travel. It also seems to replace an existing shop as long as it's in any given world, as evidenced by the brief Running Gag of natives entering, looking around, and asking "Wasn't this a coffee shop?" | |
